It was such a pleasant and exciting experience working on my very first TV Commercial for NOVA. I was made to feel very welcome and particularly enjoyed being on such a huge set. All the crew and other actors were very friendly and I was amazed to see the detail and thought put into every costume and shot. I loved working so intimately with the crew and look forward to more opportunities to come.

It was so much fun and a fantastic experience playing the lead role in this TVC. I worked with a stuntman who coordinated the driving with a camera rigged to the bonnet. I had an ear piece so the director could talk to me and give me instructions about my performance. The crew were very supportive and friendly and the other actors were easy to work with. Now I get recognized wherever I go which is kinda cool.

What a great way to spend an afternoon. Kudos to the entire crew who were very professional, friendly and relaxed. They made the whole experience a pure joy. Thank you, everyone at JAM Talent. I'm looking forward to the next job.

Being involved in the Speights commercial was so much fun. Everyone on set was so helpful and a delight to work with. The other actors were highly entertaining during down time and the crew were super helpful on set. As it was my first TVC, I'll be honest, I was a little bit nervous as I didn't know what to expect upon arriving on set. However, the nerves were gone shortly after. Being on set is such a great feeling for me. It's like a safe zone where creativity is allowed. I'm proud to have worked on the Speights commercial, it's a great one! I'm also secretly hoping they do a series of them and we all get called back so we can all work together again. I just can't wait for the next role I get. I now have more motivation not to give up on the dream of being a full time actor.

Thanks JAM - I really enjoyed being involved with the production of the Netflix TV Series The Legend of Monkey. It went really well and the crew were very pleased with the JAM extras, both with following instruction well, and being reliable. The AD looking after us, kept saying we were the best team of extras she had ever worked with!!

Thanks JAM! This was probably one of the easiest jobs I’ve done and the crew I was working with were all really nice. They were so happy with me as my scene took a short time to nail and the positive feedback I received from the directors made me feel great. Everyone on set had wonderful things to say about JAM and I definitely agree with them all. Thanks team!

This job was a piece of cake, such an easy and fun shoot. Although after an hour I did get a bit sick of looking at my reflection haha! Brad the Successful Businessman was a cool character, a bit different from roles I've had before. I enjoyed the shoot!

It was an amazing fun filled day and I met so many like minded individuals from different walks of life who were there because they were passionate about acting. There was a lot of laughter, hard work and sweat put into it as we went through multiple takes to get that elusive perfect shot. Starting out as total strangers at the beginning of the shoot, we ended up leaving in little groups exchanging Facebook profiles.

I was very happy with this job and so excited that I got this far on my first audition! The crew were amazing and very friendly. It did feel a little weird when they followed me as I was one of the lead characters. But overall, I can't wait to do it again!

It was a quick & easy shoot and they really looked after me well on set, especially the yummy lunch. I enjoyed doing this role because it was very natural and I just got to be myself. Thanks JAM for yet another amazing booking! Keep them coming.

Thanks to the team at JAM Talent who put me forward for this series and what a thrill it was. Sure I had to get up at 5:15 am, but the whole experience was fantastic. I met many other people from JAM Talent and we all had a good time. The makeup session, the hair dressing and the wardrobe was fun.
Wow, meeting the stars was of course a highlight… Thanks JAM Talent!

Thank you JAM for the great opportunities, it becomes more fun and easier each time. This was such a lovely crew to work with.

The Lowdown campaign was my first job and it was very eye opening! I really didn't know what to expect but the creative directors, stylists and organizers were all very welcoming, gave clear directions and made sure everyone was very comfortable. Not only did I get insight into the industry, but this particular job was very inspiring since its purpose was to help youth experiencing mental health issues. It really highlighted how powerful media can be. I felt honored to be a part of such a positive project!

Thank you JAM for all these great jobs! I always try to stay in character even when waiting to shoot, and it was a great rewarding feeling when all my friends recognised me on the Mastercard TV Commercial with Richie McCaw - like it was a taste of what's to come when I'm a big star!
People always hear horror stories about divas on set, but everyone was really lovely and I am always treated with kindness and respect. The delicious catering is always a bonus too!

"Absolutely thrilled by the news of my success @ the audition. I could hardly wait for the on set experience and my first time in front of the BIG cameras. As the time grew closer I was beginning to get more and more excited.
This was of course, my first ever TVC. On the day however, I swear I was treated like a movie star.
The crew did their very best to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. And the handsome Director, upon our handshake made me forget all about the mornings anxiousness.Just when I thought this magnificent experience has come and gone, not once had I anticipated all the exciting response from friends and family here and abroad"

It was so much fun doing the TV commercial for The Warehouse, the production crew treated me like royalty, an amazing atmosphere and I had more fun than I could of imagined. I can't wait for the next job. Thanks JAM for your wonderful network of clients and all the opportunities you present to me. I really look to more bookings and I'm bringing my daughter in to sign up with JAM too!!!

It was a great experience to work side by side with the Silver Ferns. When looking at them, I must be very short because I felt my neck get sore. When they threw water melon on each other it was very funny. Thanks JAM

As soon as I arrived on location for TV3's promo advert for The Block NZ, I was warmly welcomed by the director. He was keen to meet the crazy talent who had agreed to be sprayed with blue paint! It was good to know that the talent for this advert were all from JAM. This was quite a comedic story line with a risky, one chance finale; the sudden burst of blue powder paint into my face. My comfort and safety were always considered while shooting. More comedy roles for me please JAM!

Nikki Davidson - The Block NZ TV Commercial

TALENT TALK

The shoot was an awesome experience! The scene involved my BBQ catching fire, so there was a fire safety technician on set, and it was so much fun playing with fire all day! Pyrotechnics all 'round! The rest of the crew were rally cool too and treated me so well. It was so much fun playing around that it really didn't feel like work.

This was my first lead role in a TV Commercial. It was an amazing experience; the Directors and Producers were really awesome to work with, we had a lot of fun on set. The role required intensive concentration but I really enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing it again.

Thanks JAM for the great booking on Shortland Street. My role playing a featured patient was awesome, the other cast members on set were all very friendly and fun to work with. I'd love to do it all over again!

The shoot site was so cool, a small piece of kiwi nostalgia. It was all over in less than an hour, easy-as and a great experience for my first ever shoot. Everyone on the team was so laid back and friendly to work with, I smiled my way through the whole experience. Thank you JAM and all those I met on the day!

TALENT TALK

Best thing on set was all the food I had 6 bacon and egg wraps and 4 coffees for breakfast. Don't get me started on lunch, it was mean as. It was funny on set with all the old fellas cracking jokes all day. I had a camera right in front of my face for one scene but I wasn't nervous. The director was cool she gave me lots of encouragement. I could easily do this job everyday of the week. Keep it coming JAM Talent.

Danny Dewar - Spark TV Commercial

TALENT TALK

Working on Shortland Street has been amazing! The first couple of days were nerve racking and a little bit intense since my first scenes were on location, but I soon felt so welcome by everyone and apart of the team! I was pushed out of my comfort zone by doing this but I've had so much fun along the way and I've gained a lot of confidence.
